Young Adults of Metropolitan
Reach Triumphal Goal:

The Young Adults of the Met-~

ropolitan Baptist Tabernacle,
went over the top in achieving
their goal in their financial;
drive. The drive was in the in
total. amount reported so far is
$784.50. This is a sizeable sum
raised by youth groups,
however it does not in any way
good that
members and friends of the
church got out of the many pro
grams that were sponsored.
Rev. Timmons, the popular
pastor of Metropolitan and a

staunch friend of the youth suffered a painful accident. The
Rev.. Montgomery, the assistant
pastor, filled the pulpit Sunday

morning. Though it was bitter.

There. was a very delightful
program at 3:30 p.m. The Antioch Junior Choir under~ the
leadership of Mrs. Janette Wil
as pianist, furnished the bulk of
the music. Miss Bernetta Timmons, the daughter of Rev. and
Mrs. Timmons, the pastor, ~stablished herself as a fine young
soloist by singing ~The Holy
City.~ We always feel uplifted
when Miss Joan Montgomery
sings. Her number was, ~My
Task.~.One of the great treats
of the day was a duet by Misses
Timmons and ~Mildred Moore.
Their articulation and coordination was soothing to any music

lover. The playing of Mast~r
Harrison McGee, who accompanied solos and duets, proved

to be a pleasing innovation.
